Future Segments

Hey everyone. Just wanted to say that we are excited about the Fouad interview, and getting the first episode out to everyone. We have quite a chat with Fouad, and he gives us a lot of detail into what's going on in his life, and in his head, going into this year's shows.

I would like to take the time to answer a few questions from the board members here at Canadabodybuilding.com regarding training/nutrition, or just bodybuilding in general. Go ahead and fire away. I will do my best to answer the questions I get, and even save a few good ones for each episode of the show.

We want to know what's on your mind! Tell us what you think, and who you want to hear on the show, and see on the site.

We will be interviewing the 2009 Alberta Men's Overall Winner, Jordan Janvier tomorrow at the gym. He has had a few weeks since the show to eat and relax, and we're going to find out what he did to win the Albertas this year.

Cheers
Ron

Hey guys, I need a few nutrition questions for the next episode of the radio show. Next couple days would be good.

How do we eat to gain mass and how do we eat to diet. Samples would be great. Calorie count is great and all but hard to commit to when it's always the same.

Also how to eat for a show. How to deplete carbs etc. Some of us are still newbies in that area.

How many calories are you big buggers taking in per lb of bodyweight as a rule of thumb? Would you be able to break it down into pro/carb/fats per day?????
I would appreciate your input as a top level person....Or persons you will be interviewing...
This is for RON, are you going to get a thread on here with a question and answer theme ???
Thanks in advance...

I'd love my own Q and A thread. I guess Musclphreak has to set it up? Whatever is easiest.

I would like to know about your supplementation.

In particular, what supplements do you take? Creatine, bcaa's, vitamins, etc?

How much protein do you get from whole foods compared to protein powders. And what kind of protein powders do you guys take. Not company (unless they are sponsoring you) but the kind. Whey isolate, concentrate? What's a post workout shake look like for you guys?

^^ Me too....

whats the deal?

Cool. Sounds like I have something to talk about. The contest prep/peaking thing I will discuss, but won't be able to get too specific because everyone is different when it comes to the last week. However, I do have something to say about all the prep advice that gets spouted on the web, right down to how many carbs, etc, when the person hasn't even SEEN a picture of the person they are giving advice to. Just ridiculous.

Be very wary of someone who tells you what to eat/how to prep without even knowing what you look like. It's just plain reckless.

The basic diet and supp stuff I will break down for sure. Don't be disappointed in how basic it all is. LOL.

As soon as Steve gets settled in on his Honeymoon in Florida, we will be in contact and may even do a show at that time (while his wife goes shopping or something, LOL). We have guests waiting to come on, so all we need is to get Steve, Mike and I on the line together and we can roll.

Cheers

Cool, MP....This would be sweet also....A very knowledgeable person id love to hear more from, im sure others would as well....This is the good stuff...

diet and nutrition info will be something I will look forward to.

just the basics about diet & nutrition also about going into a contest on how to deplete carbs and carb back up before the show same with sodium and water. etc.

I would like to know what he eats for the first few weeks after a competition. Does he just eat whatever or is there some sort of diet that is followed.

EDIT: Also, for future segments why not get some amateur bodybuilders on there? Could be interesting also.

We are going to have lots of amateurs on for sure. Hopefully getting the episode done this week, and I will definitely answer lots of these as best I can.

Looking forward to more big guy! Few weeks for you left. Stay strong! Text me from Van and keep me in the loop!

I know it is bodybuilding radio , but will you ever interveiw Powerlifters ? Maybe tape some comps that happen around Canada or some of the guys training and get some on to talk about how their training is different than bbing ?

Just a thought.

Actually, that's a cool idea that we briefly talked about. I know Alex Mardell pretty good and I'm gonna ask him to be on somehow.

Sounds great !
